Around 25,000,000 households in the US with children.

Less than 100,000 same sex couple households with children.

That’s around 0.4%, not really a “fairly common family dynamic”
How many of those families will at one time have 2 mommy’s or 2 daddy’s? Just because they are single parent now, or even traditional with a mommy and a daddy, how many will have 2 adults of the same sex living together as a family at some time during a childhood. My guess is the percentage is much much higher and will continue on trend to be more typical. I look at the families on my block and it is not unusual at all, even if they are single parent now.

The percentage of same-sex parents in the US is pretty small: 1.1% of all coupled households. It would probably be more representative to show a single parent family (7%).

How Many Same-Sex Couples in the US are Raising Children?

Ed.: Whoops, I see my comment is redundant.

If so, welcome to the alt-right version of America Iranian style.

Children have gotten by fine in the past without it now being thrown in their faces. Are you going to throw sex education on Sesame Street also so they have a healthy sex life? You want Big Bird coming out with his vibrator? You going to teach them about drag queens? We know y'all already want to teach the children how to be racist. Y'all need to leave the children alone and stop trying to brainwash them with your WOKENESS. Leave the children out of your radical lefty politics.

I was sexualized against my will at the age of five and I vividly remember how simply wrong it felt. Anger, confusion, betrayal by someone I trusted.

I can't imagine that five year olds are much different these days.

Leave the kids alone!

Everyone who feels that it is okay to do this to children wears the face of my abuser and will be perceived as being just as evil.

I think your post is a bit dramatic. You are adding a ridiculous narrative, that doesn't exist, to "pump up your argument."

Have children gotten along fine? Is bullying no longer a thing? Any harm in teaching acceptance and love?

No more learning Counting, colors, Letters...

They will teach lessons on how to use Pronouns - "They, Them".

Remember, you can't use your Name - only Them, They, It, Birthing Person.

We don't need hollywood teaching children Wokeness. Are they also going to be taught by Big Bird that white children that have 2 white dads will grow up to be white supremacists? lol That sounds bizarre but that's the bizarre country we live in now.

Bullying will always be a thing with young children. Let the parents of children bring them up and not rely on radical left Big Bird on how to be and live. Let parents, in their homes, teach their kids how to love and accept. I just don't trust Hollywood, especially these days, to be in the best interest of children.

I'd probably not allow my kids to watch that show now. I don't think it is what it used to be.

Thank goodness Mr. Rogers didn't have a show during these times. The WOKE would have ruined that also.
